Men
CFDA: Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone & The Row
Every year, the Council of Fashion Designers of America publishes a journal to accompany the organization’s annual awards ceremony. For the first time, the images from that publication—featuring ensembles from all of the designers including accessories, womenswear and menswear nominees that came from W Magazine. Here are the next three, so Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone and The Row. Photos by Willy Vanderperre and Lea Colombo.
Alexander Wang is the man who does great accessories according to CFDA. He is the nominee for ACCESSORIES and WOMENSWEAR award of the year! And, well, looking at these boots, I am not amazed with the selection. His AW14 clothes are above.
Rag & Bone by Marcus Wainwright and David Neville is the nominee of MENSWEAR award – they do best, but really best apparel / workwear for men. And I am their victim. I love the attitude that Rag & Bone boys bring to the men fashion… Their AW14 clothes are above.
Olsen sisters are the nominees of ACCESORIES award with their luxurious label The Row. Their bags are classical and made from best quality leather: calfskin, crocodile or python are The Row’s essentials. Their AW14 pieces are above.
Men’s: In Club. Stella Jean AW14
Stella Jean. The creole beauty is Milan’s most desired designer. Known for her homeland inspired prints, Stella does beautiful collections for women and for men- which she debuted just now for AW14. Inspired with London’s Gentlemen Clubs, Jean created a collection perfect for a dapper guy/dandy. Full of beautiful, warm prints, the elegant and luxury suits look great with all these stylish t-shirts and colourful doctor bags. Stella Jean’s AW14 for men is in one hundred percent sewn for real gentlemen!
Men’s: Sport? Christopher Shannon AW14
Never heard of him, but I like it. Who made sportswear so different like Christopher Shannon? Ordinary Adidas tracksuits changes into not ordinary costume made of one pair of sweatpants and two blouses. Then, keeping it still chunky and sporty, a LONG sweater comes around. I think it might be a dress, but who knows? And then the unhealthy part- cigarettes. Located on knitwear, colourful cigarette boxes appear. Strange. This is certainly some kind of manifest between healthy life and couch potato lifestyle.
Men’s: Warm. Burberry AW14
What I enjoyed about Burberry’s men collection was the warmth coming from it. The models walking around the Kensington Pavilion in London wore floral shirts covered with graphic wool blankets and fur coats… Everything mixed with white tank tops underneath and very British brogues, Christopher Bailey did an amazing job at Burberry this season, I must admit. It was a bit romantic, a bit dandy, but very masculine and cool for modern men. And not only for a business meeting!
